Getting Started Now that you've arrived at UC Irvine as a Bren School graduate student, there are a few things you’ll need to do right away: ☻Visit the ICS Student Affairs Office (SAO) – bldg. 302 on the campus map, suite 352. Let us know you’re here! ☻International Students: Check-in at the International Center – bldg. 6 on the campus map. You must check-in within five days of your arrival. ☻PhD students: Visit your advisor. If you already have an advisor, introduce yourself (if you have not already met in person) and let them know you’re here. ☻Fellowship students: Contact Wendy Wehofer – bldg. 314 on the campus map, payroll/personnel office. All fellowship students must make an appointment with Wendy ([email protected]). You must complete this by September 15 for fees to be paid; we recommend you do this by September 8. ☻Go to UCItems – Student Center, G203 For your UCI student ID card. ☻Visit Computing Support (ICS 364, bldg. 302 on the campus map) For your ICS computer and email accounts. ☻See Jason Cleaver ([email protected]) – bldg. 314 on the campus map, rm. 1406 For your office keys (if applicable) ☻Go to the Parking Office – bldg. 7 on the campus map For students who are commuting to campus and need a parking permit. Housing (on campus) If you would like to live on campus but have not submitted a housing application, we recommend that you do so right away. If you need housing in the meantime, please visit Housing Outreach Services, G465 Student Center, and ask for a list of possible roommates, rooms for rent, or off- campus rentals. You may also visit http://www.rental-living.com/ for local Irvine apartments. Is Your Admission Provisional? If your UCI admission is “provisional” (refer to your acceptance letter), please make sure to clear this with the Graduate Division Office as soon as possible. You have until the end of fall quarter to clear your provision(s). If you fail to do so, Graduate Division will revoke your graduate student status and you will not be able to register for winter quarter. Registration The registration, tuition and fee payment deadline was September 15, 2010. All students should have registered and paid fees or authorized payment (fellowship students) by that date. The Bren School will not cover any late fees assessed for fellowship students not registering or authorizing payment by the deadline. 3 You can drop classes through Friday of the second week of the quarter, and add classes through Friday of the third week (both with instructor’s consent). An online petition will be used for adds, drops, and changes after enrollment deadlines have passed. Always check the Schedule of Classes on the Registrar’s Website for the most recent course updates: http://websoc.reg.uci.edu/perl/WebSoc. ICS 200 (Required for Computer Science MS and PhD students) The purpose of ICS 200 is to introduce Bren School faculty and their research interests to you. The first class meeting will be on Friday, September 24th at 9am, in SSL 248. Class will be held on subsequent Fridays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Class attendance is mandatory. You are allowed to miss two sessions and still earn a passing grade. If you miss more than two sessions, however, you will have to re-take the course next year to receive credit. ICS 398A (and B) & 399 All students who are on Bren School fellowships or who plan to TA for a Bren School course must take ICS 398A (it is recommended you take ICS 398A the quarter you first TA). If you would like to be considered for an opportunity to teach an ICS class during the summer, you must also take ICS 398B. *Remember* that all Ph.D. students must fulfill the two-quarter teaching requirement. All Teaching Assistants must also sign up for four units of ICS 399 each quarter they TA. TA Assignments If you are on a Bren School fellowship, your department manager will notify you of your Fall TA assignment, if applicable. Winter and Spring assignments will be given at a later date. The ICS Instructional Support Manager may have a desk copy of the book your class will be using. If the book is available, you are welcome to check it out for the quarter. Mailboxes All Bren School PhD Students will have a mailbox for receiving university-related mail. These mailboxes are small and space is limited, so please make sure all personal mail gets sent to your home address. PhD student mailboxes are located in the Departments.

  • John T. Martin
    Oral History Interview with John T. Martin Date: Saturday, April 21, 2012 Interviewer: Robert David Breton Location: Mission Viejo Library Mission Viejo, California This is a transcript of a video-recorded interview conducted by the Mission Viejo Library and funded by a Library Services and Technology Act grant administered by the California State Library. The initial, verbatim transcript of the interview was sent to the interviewee to give him or her an opportunity to check it for typographical errors, to correct any gross inaccuracies of recollection, and to make minor emendations. This is the edited version of the original transcript, but the original video recording of the interview has not been altered. The reader should remember that this is a transcript of the spoken, rather than the written, word. The interview must be read with an awareness that different persons’ memories about an event will often differ. The reader should take into account that the answers may include personal opinions from the unique perspective of the interviewee and that the responses offered are partial, deeply involved, and certainly irreplaceable. A limited number of visual and audio data from this copyrighted collection of oral histories may be used for personal study, private scholarship or research, and scholastic teaching under the provisions of United States Code, Title 17, Section 107 (Section 107), which allows limited “fair use” of copyrighted materials. Such “fair use” is limited to not-for-profit, non-commercial, educational purposes and does not apply to large amounts or “substantial” portions in relation to the transcript as a whole, within the meaning of Section 107.

  • Californiainfluencers
    CaliforniaInfluencers alifornia, once a conservative stronghold and the cradle of the Reagan Revolution, has been trending Democratic for years Cnow—and this year it was one of the few states where Demo- crats held their own against the extremely strong national Republican tide. In the top statewide contests, voters decisively chose veteran liberal Democrats Barbara Boxer for senator and Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown for governor over political newcomers who argued that their corporate experience made them ideally suited to guide the state through dire eco- nomic times. Democrats also continue to hold a significant edge in the state’s congressional delegation. While they may tilt to the left on average, successful California politi- cians run the gamut from Barbara Lee, the East Bay representative who was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 resolution authorizing the use of force in response to the 9/11 attacks, to Devin Nunes, the Central Valley representative who called the Obama admin- istration’s health care reform bill part of a plan to impose a “Socialist utopia” on the American people.

    Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences 1 Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences Marios C. Papaefthymiou, Dean 6210 Donald Bren Hall Academic Counseling: 949-824-5156 http://www.ics.uci.edu (http://www.ics.uci.edu/) The Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) embodies excellence, creativity, and collaborative innovation in computer science and information technology. As the only independent computing school in the University of California system, it is well-positioned to continue its tradition of exploring and advancing the boundaries of a broad, multidisciplinary field on a global scale. ICS faculty have extensive training in traditional computer science, as well as engineering, mathematics and statistics, and the social sciences. The School’s stand-alone structure, as opposed to being part of an engineering school, enables the faculty to take the broadest possible view of computer science and information technology. This breadth is reflected in the diverse set of academic degree options for undergraduate and graduate students, some of which are interdisciplinary and jointly administered with other academic units. The School’s three departments — Computer Science, Informatics, and Statistics — fuel a wide range of instructional and research efforts, including: design of algorithms and data structures; computer architecture and embedded computer systems; networked and distributed systems; systems software; social and mobile computing; artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining; computer games and virtual worlds; databases and information retrieval; computer graphics and visualization; bioinformatics, computational biology and genomics; computer-supported cooperative work, human-centered computing and human-computer interaction; security and privacy; software engineering; managerial and social aspects of computing technology; and statistics.

  • Name Anthony Burke
    Name Anthony Burke Staff Reference: 224 FTE: 1.0 FOR: 1201, Architecture Level: C Status: Employed Function: Teaching and Research Exurban Noir, Research Workshop, Ubicomp 2006 Organge County, California Background In 2006, Anthony Burke, with Eric Paulos (Intel) Ken Anderson (Intel) and Amanda Williams (UC Irvine) developed a research workshop on the exurban conditions of Orange country as a field within which to explore locative and new media tactics as part of UbiComp 2006. Papers were accepted, however the nature of the workshop was as a unique exploration in the field research and rapid design prototyping. Contribution 25% Co-director events, concept, design, coordination and management. This workshop was published as part of the UbiComp 2006 proceedings. Significance The research goal of this ubiquitous computing workshop was to explore techniques for considering not general- purpose holistic solutions to problems within the complex social, cultural, political, and economic ecology of urban life, typically aimed at technology users in a hip 20 something demographic. The aim of our research was to expand the vocabulary of potential urban technologies, enabling a wider range of choices as we form our future urban lifestyles. Combining highly specific field trips with final designs from the workshop were intended to provoke open ended discussions around urban technologies rather than present "killer apps" or final solutions. Our research aims included the elaboration of new multidisciplinary methods and models in design practice, for technology designers, to grapple cognitively and experientially with the exopolis as an urban form and to extend the discourse of locative media and technologies and their relationship to urban space and practices as a maturing dialogue, raising issues that are reflective of this.
